Why Create Explainer Videos?
In order for a prospect to see your service as their solution, they must fully understand your service and its benefits. That’s where the explainer video comes into play. Explainer videos are useful for taking complex concepts and breaking them down into comprehensible and concise pieces of information for a viewer. They deliver crucial knowledge that is wrapped up in a dynamic story, visuals and sounds. Explainer Videos will often contrast other services in order to establish brand authority.

Explainer Video Components
It is important to take time and understand your business, services, competitive advantages and your target customer. We combine this with a compelling story in order to create a script that includes a voiceover and animation direction.
After the script is complete, a black and white storyboard drawing serves as a snap shot of what the video will look like when it is complete.
The story board transforms into a color depiction of each scene. The color palette plays a crucial role in eliciting emotions from the viewer.
Motion is added as the video comes to life through animation that is constructed in platforms such as Adobe Aftereffects, Premiere, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, among others.
The voiceover script is recorded by a voiceover artist. Music is purchased or an original soundtrack is composed. Sound effects are integrated into the video. All elements are mixed into the video to create a seamless experience from end to end.
